Peanuts was a suburban story and expressed many of the contemporary concerns about the environment and the future. Nature played an important role in Schulz’s work, becoming an active member of the cast at times. Schulz’s conception of environmental responsibility attempted to balance alleviating the negative consequences of modern industry with the need for continued industrial productivity. This environmental ethos made Peanuts characters attractive mascots for 1970s presidential administrations looking to market their own public policies in the midst of the energy and pollution crises of the decade. At times, however, Schulz’s work could be deployed by corporate leaders as a way to deflect their own industrial responsibility onto individual consumers.

Significance The Vietnam analogy implies that President Joe Biden’s decision to leave Afghanistan will have deeply negative consequences for the United States. However, Afghanistan is not Vietnam and the Biden withdrawal needs to be considered within the wider context of his administration’s review of US commitments abroad. Impacts The White House will be pressured to clarify the future of other US military commitments, particularly in Iraq. Biden will seek to reassure allies, particularly those in NATO, that his commitment to multilateralism will not diminish. Biden may seek an opportunity for a military show of force, possibly in the Middle East, to refute accusations of weakness.

Degradation State

O estágio atual de degradação da Amazônia fez emergir, em âmbito internacional, um debate sobre seu futuro e sobre as ações que contribuem para a destruição ou para a conservação da floresta. Diversos grupos travam uma luta simbólica neste debate, através da qual buscam legitimação para seus projetos e para suas formas de utilização dos recursos. Neste trabalho, buscou-se construir um quadro analítico em que fossem contempladas as diversas matrizes discursivas empregadas na discussão acerca dos rumos da Amazônia brasileira, levando em consideração as propostas de diferentes atores e elaborações teóricas sobre os conceitos de desenvolvimento, preservação e sustentabilidade. Foram identificadas, desta forma, quatro matrizes discursivas: o discurso desenvolvimentista, o discurso da mercantilização da natureza, o discurso preservacionista e o discurso socioambiental. Palavras-chave: Amazônia; sustentabilidade; conflito ambiental; políticas públicas. Abstract: The current Amazon’s degradation state resulted in the emergence of an international debate on its future and on the actions that contribute to forest’s destruction or conservation. Several groups find themselves in a symbolic struggle around this debate, through which they reach for legitimacy for their projects and the different uses of resource. In this paper we tried to build an analytical approach in which the various discursive matrices utilized in the discussion on the future of the Brazilian Amazon were contemplated. This has been done considering the proposals of different agents and theoretic elaborations on the concepts of development, preservation and sustainability. In this way, four discursive matrices were identified – the developmentalist discourse, the nature’s mercantilist discourse, the preservationalist discourse and the socio-environmentalist discourse – that, in different political conjectures act with more or less influence over the elaborated policies for each region, with direct effects over its ecosystems and inhabitants. Keywords: Amazon; sustainability; environmental conflict; public policies.

The educational process has always had an important gap in terms of inclusion. Several laws and public policies have contributed to extinguishing this process, but no tool has been more effective than technology, as long as it is applied in combination with specific methods for learning. It justifies the realization of this study, the relevance of the theme “inclusion” for society, for the academic environment and for the future of new generations. The present work has as a general objective to understand the importance of accessible technologies for the visually impaired in the school environment. The method used was based on theoretical-bibliographic research, based on authors such as Carvalho (2008), Sonza (2004) and Oliveira (2015). As a result, it can be seen that it was possible to identify the real collaboration of technology vis-à-vis students who have some type of disability, proposing technology as a tool to bring students closer to their own reality.

AbstractThe novel COVID-19 global pandemic has become a public health emergency of international concern affecting 215 countries and territories around the globe. As of 28 November 2020, it has caused a pandemic outbreak with a total of more than 6,171,5119 confirmed infections and more than 1,44,4235 confirmed deaths reported worldwide. The main focus of this paper is to generate LTM real-time out of sample forecasts of the future COVID-19 confirmed and death cases respectively for the top ten profoundly affected countries including for the world. To solve this problem we introduced a novel hybrid approach AARNN model based on ARIMA and ARNN forecasting model that can generate LTM (fifty days ahead) out of sample forecasts of the number of daily confirmed and death COVID-19 cases for the ten countries namely USA, India, Brazil, Russia, France, Spain, UK, Italy, Argentina, Colombia and also for the world respectively. The predictions of the future outbreak for different countries will be useful for the effective allocation of health care resources and will act as early-warning system for health warriors, corporate leaders, economists, government/public-policy makers, and scientific experts.
